A photograph of a long-haired man in a red-maroon robe and gold beaded garland seated on a golden throne, reaching to touch the head of a curly-haired young child in a white kurta. A white tilak mark is on the man's forehead. Behind them are a golden kalasha-style vessel, a silver staff, a peacock-feather fan on the left and maroon drapery. The child raises a hand toward the man. This appears to be a blessing moment. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, red robe, gold garland and throne.
